Tournament Synopsis

The World Group Structure

The World Group represented the highest echelon of Davis Cup competition in 1992. This elite tier featured sixteen nations competing in a single-elimination tournament. Victors in the first round not only advanced to the quarterfinals but also secured their position in the World Group for the subsequent 1993 season. Conversely, first-round losers faced a relegation play-off in the World Group qualifying round to retain their top-tier status.

The Champions: United States

The United States emerged as the dominant force, capturing their 30th overall Davis Cup title. The American team, featuring a formidable lineup of talent, defeated Switzerland 3–1 in a decisive final. The championship tie was contested from December 4th to 6th at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas, on an indoor hard court, solidifying a landmark victory for the US team.

Defending Champions' Fate

France entered the 1992 competition as the defending champions, having won the title in 1991. Their campaign to retain the cup showed early promise, but their journey was ultimately cut short. The French team was eliminated in a hard-fought quarterfinal tie, demonstrating the intense level of competition and unpredictability inherent in the Davis Cup format.
